The Sapphire Princess has 2670 guests and 1100 crew. Boarding was painless and our bags arrived at the room quite quickly. We chose an inside room as we reasoned we wouldn’t be in them very often! We felt that the room was spacious, had heaps of closet space and the bathroom was of a good size. Our cabin attendant could not have been more attentive.

The ship had everything you would expect from a modern cruise line – swimming pools, a day spa, gym, library, photo gallery, entertainment areas, at theatre, lounges, bars and heaps of restaurants.
